Join the conversation! McColl Center for Visual Art’s inaugural Gantt Center Artist-in-Residence, Fahamu Pecou will lead Passage of Right: Call & Response—A Series of Candid Conversations Around Black Manhood this Saturday during the Center’s Community Day.
---
Beginning at 1 p.m. in the Center’s board room, a scholar, an educator, a photographer and a performance artist will join Fahamu to discuss, question and observe how a legacy of racism and oppression have come to influence the behaviors—inherited and accepted—of black men today.
Panelists Dr. Mark Anthony Neal, professor of African & American Studies at Duke University; Ed Garnes, founder of From Afros to Shelltoes will join Center artist-in-residence alumni Susan Harbage Page and John W. Love, Jr. for the discussion.
The discussion begins at 1 p.m. in the Center’s board room on the first floor. Community Day begins at 11 a.m. and will include artist-led activities through 4 p.m. In addition, a five-block sidewalk chalk drawing will connect the Center to Discovery Place and “ZipStir”, site specific installations by Hong Seon Jang and Jonathan Brilliant and the Fall Artist-in-Residence Exhibition will be open in the galleries. Community Day is part of the Arts & Science Council’s Cultural Free for All.
For details, contact Devlin McNeil, Director of Programs at 704.332.5535 ext 13 or dmcneil@mccollcenter.org.
